Description
An issue was discovered in Weaviate OSS before 1.33.4. Due to a lack of validation of the fileName field in the transfer logic, an attacker who can call the GetFile method while a shard is in the "Pause file activity" state and the FileReplicationService is reachable can read arbitrary files accessible to the service process.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/weaviate/weaviate, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/weaviate/weaviate to 1.30.20 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hmmh-292h-3364 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-hmmh-292h-3364 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-hmmh-292h-3364. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-hmmh-292h-3364 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-hmmh-292h-3364 across Go dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
